This study draws on the research and insights of Paul MacLean in his book, "The Triune Brain", as well as the work of Abraham Maslow, to show that reciprocity, rather than conflict, is the endpoint of human development. As such, Cory uses neuroscience as the bridge between the natural and the social sciences. The modular view of the computational brain is tied to insights of evolutionary bioloy.
